Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Summary
He told her to commit?
Fine. She’d do it.
But not in the way he wanted.
OR: In which Pomni flips the script on Jax, putting the gun and responsibility of ending their connection in HIS hands. At least, at first.

Summary
“A team,” Sydney says with pointed sarcasm. “If we’re a team that means we need to communicate and work together and trust each other, right? And today it seemed like you had no confidence in me. Like you didn’t trust me to do my job, Carm. This isn’t the first time either. It probably won’t be the last. So, I guess…what I’m asking is if you even want me here?”
It’s the kind of vulnerable question that can break their bond or tether them even more tightly to each other.
Carmy feels the words moving through him before they make it to his mouth. “I want you here, Syd. I do.”

Summary
For months now, Ryan has kissed him perfunctorily, the to-do list roiling in his brain, thinking of all the places they need to be and the obligations he needs to fulfill to other people. This time, the bottom drops out of space and time.
Ryan kisses him slow, bending at the waist to caress Shane at the nape of his neck and claim his mouth for his own. Shane goes willingly, eagerly, tilting his head up for more. Ryan kisses like they have all the time in the world, and they do, don’t they?
